Our take on Nummels
The likely bounce point comes when a player realizes the Nummels cannot be directed like conventional platforming characters. Progress depends on anticipating their next interaction and preparing the environment before release, while faster scores add pressure after the basic route is solved.
What is Nummels?
Nummels is a 2D platformer in which players prepare routes for creatures trying to reach the exit.
Nummels interact with whatever is directly ahead, so progression involves placing ladders and bridges, digging through ground, blasting barriers, and applying mind control. The creatures can perform actions when given suitable motivation, while the player character moves faster and jumps higher. Levels support careful preparation before releasing the Nummels, as well as faster runs aimed at leaderboard scores and unlocking items. Saving Nummels awards coins that can be spent on hats. The game presents medium-skill platforming with optional challenges rather than a punishing difficulty curve.
How Nummels plays
- 01Route Preparation
- Players shape each level by positioning ladders and bridges or modifying the terrain with digging and explosives.
- 02Predictable Creatures
- Nummels act on the object directly before them, including unsuitable objects such as chewed gum.
- 03Mind Control
- Mind control is one of the tools available for directing the Nummels.
- 04Leaderboard Runs
- Fast completion times contribute to leaderboard competition and are tied to unlocking items.
- 05Cosmetic Hats
- Coins earned from rescued Nummels can be exchanged for hats.
